For 4-H members who want to keep more complete records on market beef, sheep, swine, and other market animals and be able to figure rate of gain, cost of gain, and ability to use feed. This record is in addition to other records in the 4-H Animal Science Project.
This report is one of a series issued in cooperation with the ANC-17 Panel on Plastics for Aircraft of the Departments of the Air Force, Navy, and Commerce. Information reviewed and reaffirmed 1960. Original report issued October 1955.
Low copy number anonymous nuclear loci were used to search for species markers in four species of Klamath Basin suckers. We sequenced 28 randomly chosen loci representing 10,421 bp; 21 loci were similar to sequences in GenBank. Eight fixed sequence differences were found among Klamath species. Locus 120 contained rare...
Behavioral studies of populations provide clues as to what influences their
movements and life history strategies. This is an area of study that has been
underutilized in research surrounding the declining western stock of Steller sea
lions, Eumet opias jubatus, particularly with regards to haulout behaviors. During
the time of...
Eight genotypes of tall fescue were selected from a plant
population consisting of 9000 individuals. Selection was based on
early maturity, self-sterility, seed and forage potential, and nutritive
value.
Parental clones, single cross, open pollinated, self pollinated
and polycross seeds were organized into a randomized block experiment
with five replications...
The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has modeled twelve reference animal and plant (RAP) species using simple geometric shapes in Monte–Carlo (MCNP) based simulations. The focus has now shifted to creating voxel phantoms of each RAP to advance the understanding of radiation interactions in nonhuman biota. The work contained...
Variability in wood properties causes boards within a stack of lumber to
dry at different rates and reach different moisture content levels after drying is
completed. The consequence is that the boards will have properties that differ from
ones that were intended to be achieved by the drying process.
The...
CTD observations were made in the Code region near Pt. Arena on
the northern California coast at 39°N, off Five Mile Point at 43°13'N,
off Crescent City at 41°54'N, and off Half Moon Bay at 370 25'N,
during 17-29 May 1981. The observations in the Code region included
six repeated...
